Do They Take Us For A Fool?!?!?

Let me explain it to you.

Digichilli has not launched yet. <-------thus no point in complaining

Screamer has launched, but with severe teething problem which are unacceptable. They have offered to cancel the accounts of those who do not want to experience the teething phase. <------- Correct to complain, their network should have been more fully tested.

Come ON again rather be the one with a real service to offer then a half baked thing! how much good do you think this has done for these companys?
 
Disappointed that they're trying to do something about our crap situation and moaning that it's not perfect? Here's a thought, go **** yourselves.

I am surprised that there is even electricty in your part of the world let alone internet!

Thats why we get done over all the time it's people like YOU who are happy with sub class work!!! You belong in AFRICA!!
 
So defining my situation as crap makes it all good in your eyes? Grow the fk up. It goes like this, it's people like you who discourage companies from trying something out of the ordinary in South Africa, you shoot them down without hesitation instead of praising the initiative taken. Africa is too good for you my friend.

Updates have been given in the forums to the community. My comment about not reading was referring specifically to that.

In saying that, i agree there should be a mybb follow up article to inform the masses. The companies should also point out on their websites that their networks are not yet ready.
 
I think the anger is more about the fact we get this great offers that don't become real for us!

Lets just go back a few months

Neotel - look at how their service is still not working 100%
Seacom - Cheap Cheap ADSL! Now we have to wait for another Cable before that happens?
DigiChilli - Offer but nothing happening
Screamer - Doing funny things!!

it's the same over & over & over again! can't they just be open & honest!!
 
So if these are teething problems they are having does that mean we will start paying only when they are resolved, and when we get what is and was advertised? :confused:

No!!! They take our money straight away. :mad:

That is my point, and that is also why I started the other thread.

If I am expected to pay for something than I want what was advertised and what I paid for. :mad:

I did not pay for teething problems, or did I? :mad:
 
I want cheap internet as much as the next guy, and i'm tired of our situation, but you guys are being too harsh...

it's a new product - everyone knows that.
they are under a huge workload due to many new sign-ups

how many gigs can you get for R399 a month at other ISPs? how many GB's do mweb, or say, I burst, or 3G give you for R399 ? i'm sure you will get more with their uncapped, even if it is a little slower or whatever at the moment

the service isn't perfect yet, just give it a few days at least man, they just released YESTERDAY!

so yeah - rather take on Vodacom / iBurst / etc as THEY are the ones that need to improve - on speed, service AND PRICE as well

No, if anything we should be more harsh. How would people in the UK respond to a service like this?

It's not a new network or a new company though, and the problems are on that same network :rolleyes:

"If I am expected to pay for something than I want what was advertised and what I paid for. I did not pay for teething problems, or did I? "

Well? Answer the man
 
errr.....you don't have to pay for it - the screamer rep said they can cancel it for you no problem?



anyway....if you don't like it and really can't wait a week or two, and you need unshapped 4mbs uncapped now, go to another isp - you are just going to have to pay a lot for it.
I think it's a good step in the right direction - i'm just waiting for these hectic times to equalize a bit...

I think I'll pass :)

Besides, I'll keep my WiMAX connection to them (Already paid for the equipment) and keep it as redundancy..

I think the Screamer tech team got a little excited thinking you were going to go try make some other ISP miserable for a while

cda said:
I'm telling them exactly what I'm unhappy about and exactly what to do about it. Doesn't get much more constructive than that as far as I'm concerned.

Yes people, and he has posted his unhappy little opinion 35 times!! on the Screamer threads in the last 2 days. What a loser

cda said:
Really Playoff, you're not doing them any favours by irritating me. .

Doesn't this just smack of arrogance. He keeps trying to compare ISP's to his UK experience. Why don't you just go back there and make SA a happier place

As for trolling, damn right I am because Screamer should have dealt with my complaints!.

For those of you who have come accross one of this miserable little man's 35 Screamer posts in the last 2 days this is the real reason he is trying to stop you using Screamer. For his own selfish retaliation. Ignore him and hopefully he will try and find someone else to make unhappy.

He does seem a little wired. Give him a lollipop.

I am sooooooooooo glad I stayed with Afrihost. All in all they are still the ADSL leaders in my mind.
 
DigiChilli hasn't officially launched yet! They are going the extra mile to make sure their services work before they accept any money! Well done to them!

As for Screamer: :erm::erm:

Hi Guys,

I understand your keenness to test the product. We're waiting for our blocks of IP addresses to be released and populated through the Telkom ESR's and our upstream providers. We're as eager as you to go full tilt here.

We're aiming for sometime next week if there are no more hiccups. Don't quote me or I'll get fired.... again!:o

D

Ummm No...... They are waiting for their IP range

They still have to go through the challenges of a launch and fine tuning
 
TomasW, If you know far more than any ISP in this country, then why don't you start your own perfect ISP? Then you don't need to complain when you FSCK up!

Do these ISP's think they can take us for a fool?

1st its DigiChilli promising and not delivering than it is Screamer promising and delivering crap.:mad:

Let me tell you all that ADSL and especially UNCAPPED/UNLIMITED is a sore point in this country.:mad:

So before anyone else launches a UNCAPPED/UNLIMITED product or any other ADSL product for that matter, get your Sh*T together first.:mad:

And one last thing, most of the people on this forum are lot smarter than the people you employ and than close in your exchanges/server rooms.:)

So do not try to fool us, you are making fools of yourself and will not convince us with the next product you will want to launch.:mad:

All I can say is:
You get what you pay for. <-- notice the full stop

If you pay next to nothing for something, expect it to be sub par to bad, and/or the support for it to be sub par and/or bad.

If you pay quite a bit for something, usually (notice not always) you get something very decent.

At least that is my opinion. Take it for what it is.
